Important: You should take note of these points about rust releases:

Rust has a 6-week rapid release process, be sure to get many builds of rust available at any time.

Secondly, all these builds are managed by rustup, in a consistent manner on every supported platform, enabling installation of rust from the beta and nightly release channels, and support for additional cross-compilation targets.
